An award winning continuing series on Network television, being rerun on Bravo Channel (home of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), The West Wing portrays a left wing Liberal President, Josiah Bartlett, played by Martin Sheen, taking on the evil Republicans with every cause dear to social democrats world wide.
In one episode, two vacancies on the SCOTUS came open, or were about to, when the Chief Justice refused to retire because he knew that a true 'left wing appointee' could not be confirmed in the Senate.
The solution? To nominate one extreme left wing justice and one extreme right wing justice.
For you who are following the currect farce, this might sound somewhat familiar.
Justice Sandra Day O'Conner, perceived as a 'swing vote', sometimes left, sometimes right, (what else can you expect from a woman?), is hoped by the Liberals to be replaced with another, 'moderate' judge.
Chief Justice Rendquist, whom reporter Robert Novak predicted would retire, who is 80 years of age and suffering cancer, refused to retire and step down.
The predictions on whom President Bush will or should nominate run rampant in media and partisan speculation. I said before it will be an interesting summer.
My prediction is that President Bush will do as he has done with Appellate justices, nominate strict constitutionalists, to replace O'Conner and then Rendquist, whether it be sooner or later.
This would be good for the nation as the Supreme Court would be hampered from making legislation and be confined to the role assigned it in the Constitution; that is to 'interpret' rather than legislate.
Long, long overdue.
